This is one if the first pictures of Lotty while she is being weighted and measured.
Paul is getting the chance to hold his first child while Elizabeth's sister, Kathryn, takes a picture.
Before her first bath, Lotty enjoyed the warmth of a heat lamp. The bath was less enjoyable.
While not her favorite thing, once she got immersed in the warm water, Lotty settled down and was her usual, cooperative self. (We can't really say what usual is yet, of course, but it is a nice thought.)
Becky was one of Lotty's nurses who was very encouraging and let Paul listen to Lotty's heartbeat through the infant-sized stethoscope. Becky was also there for the delivery.
After arriving home, Elizabeth had some time to cuddle Lotty on the couch.
At home, Lotty naps in a rocker seat, one of the many generous gifts or loaned items we have received.
What a sweetheart. We're so glad Lotty's parents started a blog. So happy for you all.

What a beautiful family. Congratulations and thanks for the blog. We'll be following it. Laura and I are envious of your "very routine delivery" and note that both our kids were over 3 months old before they weighed that much. Of course, I'm sure Elizabeth is glad Lotty wasn't any bigger!

Nice blog. I think I best like the photo of Lottie in the rocker seat or whatever that lovely contraption is. Of course, all the pictures are wonderful. Elizabeth, I got to spend a weekend with your mother out in Maryland at a MCUSA resource advocate retreat. What a surprise to discover we had a conection through you and Paul.
